Case #Something. Paradisa Sinfonia.

[Miles is in his room, practicing a bit of flute in his spare time. Miles was a great patron of the arts, and he particularly enjoyed symphonies. Goodness, did he a miss a great orchestra...

...This prompts an idea.]

Just out of curiosity... who, amongst us residents, are musicians?

I am the mood for a bit of chess. Have you time this evening?

The ceiling is yours. Should I take my leave?

[OOC: This post is for the IC Formation of the Paradisa Sinfonia. It's not absolutely necessary to reply if you've signed up your character, just a chance to play out their participation ICly should you wish (especially for some characters who may need a little more nudging).]

...Photographs.

[He looked up, recalling the brief memory of the beautiful baby girl they both fathered back during the baby days]

Of what, exactly? Well, I am sure you require no reminding.

Photos...

_{[Oh, yes, he remember Edgeworth taking those during the... that time.]}

I think I would like some of those very much.

Very well. I will print some more.

Thank you, Miles.

_{[There is a small pause.]}

Just... so you know. I don't regret a day of that time. I was... happy.

...As was I.

I never once thought I'd be able to fancy myself a parent. Until then, that is...

it is amazing, the things we learn about ourselves sometimes, is it not?

Oh believe me...I have been coming to terms with far too much the past few months...

Oh my. Care to talk about it?

...I'd rather hear about how you've been.

Well, actually. Things have been going... well. The reunion was fun, though... one of my friends went home. But I am glad for it. He missed his husband so.

Ah-...'husband'? [Odd thing to have caught his attention, but...whatever.]

Oh, yes. Apollo was married to another man - Nightsider, I think his name was. I never knew him well, I was mostly friends with Apollo.

Oh. I see.

Was he from your world?

Oh, no, he was from another. Please, men... men cannot wed in my world. It wouldn't do, though there are some who take lovers.

I suppose the mindset of the general populace, along with much else in your world is truly in congruence with the Middle Ages of our own...

If you marry a man, how are you to continue your line? Adoptive children cannot inherit, after all, and many marriages are made out of alliance with children to seal such alliances. Admittedly, some people do not find my tastes... acceptable, but there are many who either do not care, or encourage it. And that is enough.

I beg your pardon... Your...'tastes'? What do you mean by?

Ah, that is to say, I... well, I hold no interest towards women when it comes to the bedroom. I prefer men.

...Ah. [...Well, then. Not that he didn't already ~~know~~ suspect it, but...]

Well, I...I didn't want to simply assume...

No, it is all right.

I... I'm sorry if that makes you uncomfortable. But, believe me, I have never been one to thrust my attentions on someone. I've never had time anyways.

Make me uncomfortable? Hmph. Then I'd be a massive hypocrite...

Hypocrite...?

_{[He blinked at him.]}

Ah, then you also...?

...prefer men? Yes. Honestly, I am a bit relieved you don't seem to think it obvious like many others I've encountered.

I suppose it is not something I actively look for. It is not common in my world, or if it is we hide it. It.. it got my first lover in trouble at court, and it was a cause of strife in my family.

I believe you. Fortunately, where I am from, it's hardly a cause for concern. In fact, in some areas, it's widely celebrated. There are those who frown upon it, yes, but not nearly as much as they did centuries ago. You just happened to be born at the wrong place at the wrong time, my good man.

...But worry not. You are in good company, now. I won't judge you for it...[he chuckles]...obviously.
